I Hate the Republic
Yesterday’s Republic featured a story on the Rick Renzi controversey that implied that the whole thing was a dirty trick from the Ellen Simon campaign. Never mind that this has been investigated for months, they asked Renzi and his lawyer, former Attorney General Grant Woods, and they assured the Republic that this is being done at the behest of Simon. We know this because the FBI often opens investigations based on complaints from campaigns.
Case closed.
The New York Times, the Washington Post and even the New Times have all been able to find some serious problems with this deal (I doubt that the Post even knows who Ellen Simon is), why does the Republic continue to pretend that nothing is going on but election year politics?
NB - The folks that gave me this story were not with Ellen Simon’s campaign, and I don’t know anyone that works for her.

Sounds like everybody on both sides hates the Republic. That can’t bode well for them.

[…] The AP story is really an Arizona Republic article on the matter. This is good to see given that back October when the Renzi matter was first raised, they pooh-poohed it. […]
